William V for Model Number DLG0332W I've had this dryer for about 10 years and overall am happy with it. I was having a problem were after running for a awhile it would trip the high limit thermostat (the one with the small black reset button on it). I'd open up the dryer, reset the switch and it would run again for a while. I ended up replacing that switch and all was perfect for about 6 months. Then came my new problem. You can start the dryer, the heat kicks on and a few minutes later, the circuit breaking in the house trips. After doing some research, it was to be believed that it was either the house breaker or the dryer motor. I tried the dryer on other circuits in the house and it tripped them as well. At that point, I ordered a new motor. Installed the motor and the same problem exists. I have now also replaced the power control board and yet again the breaker still trips (about 5 minutes into the cycle). If I run the dryer on Air Dry, it doesn't trip...I should have tried that before ordering a motor:(. Now, I have three new parts in the dryer and no idea as to what is tripping the house circuit breaker. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer William, The first thing that you will want to check is for would be a wire that may be exposed and hitting the cabinet. If this checks ok then would most likely be a issue with the motor. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, January 8, 2014
